Quarantine inventory

In LN, you can put rejected goods in a quarantine warehouse or a quarantine location to determine their disposition, such as scrap, use-as-is, rework, or return to vendor.

• Quarantine records

  When inventory is sent to quarantine, LN creates a quarantine record or adds the inventory to an existing quarantine record. You cannot manually create quarantine records. A quarantine inventory record consists of a header and one or more disposition lines. LN creates a disposition line for each rejected stock point detail.

• Process flows to quarantine

  Inventory is put into quarantine if initially rejected during:

  • Production upon completion of an operation
  • Inbound inspection
  • Outbound inspection

• To handle quarantine inventory

  Handling quarantine inventory entails specifying a disposition and a reason code, and selecting the Process option for a disposition line or part of a disposition line. The following disposition options are available:
